Emerald Forest Cabins & RV

Michael Vandenberg

We’ve dreamed of going to the redwoods for years and this was really the perfect spot. Cabin with full electricity, plumbing, kitchen, and WiFi, but the only place we found in the region where you’re actually staying in the beautiful woods. There was literally a redwood tree as part of our balcony lol. Beautiful site and facilities, and the staff was always very friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back.

We were gonna stay at Sue Meg State Park, but they were full. I am so glad that we found this place. What a beautiful and stunning campground. I can’t believe we felt like we were in the redwood national Forest. Yes, it’s near the highway and you can hear a few cars at night, but it’s not that bad. This isn’t backcountry camping anyway. It’s car camping. Come on people. But it’s car camping that feels like you’re in the backwoods. Bonus, you get all the amenities like running water and flushable toilets and showers. They have dog parks. The little shop has firewood and anything you need that you forgot. Plus, it’s so close to Trinidad and we decided we didn’t want to cook so we ate out every night. Even got a delicious latte in the morning. We had pizza one night too. Just look up all the restaurants in Trinidad. You won’t be disappointed anywhere that you eat. I would totally camp here again. It was so nice. It’s a quick drive up. They 101 to go to the Redwood national Forest for the day. We did a couple great hikes and had a picnic up there, and then came back to the campground. It was awesome.

This is a very nice campground. We stayed here 20 years ago, and it is still as nice as I remembered. Sites are nestled between redwood trees. There are cabins, too, that have all you need. Our friends stayed in cabin and we had our travel trailer. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is convenient. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed here over the holiday weekend and had a great time. We usually camp in our RV but decided to have a tent weekend and it was so nice. The spaces were very roomy and not on top of each other and were very clean. The bathrooms were clean and even had showers yes it was 50 cents but I could see how this would cut down on water waste. The gals working in the little store were always very pleasant and it was nice to have plenty of trash cans and a dish washing station. We will definitely be back.

Trinidad is a charming fishing village along the Northern California coast. We loved staying at Emerald Forest Cabins and RV--somehow it's only 2 minutes to the great coffee shop (Beachcomber) or fish place (Seascape) in town and beautiful beaches but you are nestled among redwoods. I love that it was dog-friendly. The staff are awesome and this is a great place for those wanting to explore redwood country. My only bit of advice is to bring a warm blanket to put on top of the bed. There are heaters in the cabins but the bedding would benefit from a nice blanket. Also be sure to choose whether you want a full kitchen to cook or not.
